Hiya folks. I bought this game on the cheap from bestbuy cuz i loved dark forces so much back in the day, but i'm getting issues running the game on a win2k platform.. the game is made for win95/98 machines. is there any kind of cheat/hack/fix that i can use to fool the game into thinking it's running under the correct os, or should i try running the game from dos (and how do i go about doing that on a win2k machine)?

any help is appreciated
